# Deep Discovery
A structured self-interrogation framework that exhaustively explores a topic through
100 sequential questions, each building on the previous answer. Designed to be
used in Codex as a skill for rigorous, sequential exploration before committing
to a design or decision.
## Preflight
1. Identify the topic, available context, focus, and starting point. If any of
those are too ambiguous to run a useful interrogation, ask at most three
clarifying questions before starting.
2. Choose the mode:
- **Evaluation:** an existing design, architecture, strategy, or plan exists.
